Hello,
Dr. Erik Zimen did his research as far as I know on two groups - that were both
hand raised - wolfes and poodles. They did hand raise them because they didn´t
want the influence of their different mothers. The research and a lot of wolf
behaviour is dircribed very interesting in his book "the wolf". The reason why
you have to get them that early ist because they show flight reaction against
humans very early, as far as I can remember you have to get them around ten days.
It´s very likely that European wolfes are different in this problem, because the
selection by hunting humans went on so much longer. You almost never have sights
of European wild living wolfes like you have them in nothern america. Some of his
old wolfes still live in their enclosure in the national bavarian forrest not so
far away from our place. He did bottle-feed pups several more times and did
reintegrate them into enclosure wolfepacks. To everybodies astonishment everytime
he did so the puppies - up to 6 month of age- were immidiatly adopted by the
pack, he never saw any problems.In the enclosure in the Schorfheide we had the
opportunity to visit some one year old wolfes in their new pack that we had seen
at his place with two weeks of age the year before, they were totally integrated
into the pack.But Erik will tell you too that there is almost no case were you
could keep an fully adult euopean wolf as an companion close to you, the only
wolf he could keep as an adult with his family was one male, who got risky the
moment he became leader of the wolfpack and got nice again when he lost this
position. But this were wolfes who were allowed to live a quite normal life, they
just wanted to see the different development of behaviour in wolfes and dogs.

The milk quality shouldn´t be the problem between wolfe and dogs,I think it is
mostly identical, but a dograised wolfe won´t become a dog when it is adult,
when it is working out best he is a human socialised, tamed wolfe.
I would be personally very interested in how many CSW that have been bottleraised
and been extremly bonded to humans can be left alone in their home without
problems, because the most "Canine home alone" problems in our dogschool we see
in dogs with an extremly strong bond to their owners that are kept like children
that have to be protected and that don´t learn to handle frustration when they
have been small (as Ann so very well described).
